Getting around North East Lincolnshire has never been easier – and it’s staying cheaper.
The £1.50 leisure ticket is set to be extended until January 2027 to help make travelling around the borough easier on residents’ pockets.
Hop on the bus and go shopping, take a walk down the seafront or spend some time in the wonderful open spaces across the borough.
The best bit of all? It’ll cost less than the price of a sandwich!
Previously, in November 2025, North East Lincolnshire Council announced the discounted £1.50 bus ticket, in line with the £3 bus fare cap.
Bus travel is still one of the cheapest ways to get around North East Lincolnshire. For less than the price of a meal out or the petrol to drive there, you can sit back and relax whilst the bus gets you to where you want to be.
The £1.50 ticket operates every day after 6pm with normal fare prices operating before 6pm. Those with a concessionary pass are still eligible to travel for free all day. This is a promotional price for a limited time only, subject to funding.
However, if you are a Horizon member, you can get on the bus for just £1 – there really is no reason not to take the bus!
Councillor Paul Batson, Portfolio Holder for Transport, Housing and Infrastructure, said: “It’s great that we’re able to continue the discounted ticket.
“This is a period of growth and regeneration for the borough, some of which is based on people coming to shop locally. To save money, why not get the bus there and leave your car at home.”
Matt Cranwell, Managing Director of Stagecoach East Midlands, added: “My team work hard every day to help our customers get where they want and need to go, from making sure that everything is looking as good as it should, to providing smooth and reliable services, and a friendly face to welcome them on board. So, it is wonderful that even more local people will now be able to make the most of their efforts!”
